Redstone

The daylight sensor emits a redstone current to all blocks placed within 1 block above, below, or next to it. The strength of the redstone signal varies by the time of day. See power levels for the strength of the signal. Daylight Sensors only work by sunlight and cannot be activated by other light sources.

As a fuel

Daylight Sensors can be used as fuel in furnaces. They last 15 seconds, or 1.5 operations.

Power levels

Daylight detector

If a daylight sensor has an opaque block above it, then it will emit a weaker signal, or none at all, as it is directly proportional to the sky light, which can be useful for controlling light levels with redstone lamps and pistons to cover and uncover the sensor.

Night time detector

An encased sensor emits a signal at night, and weather is irrelevant to the signal strength.

Inverted daylight detector

In [[Template:1.8]],‌ right-clicking the daylight sensor will invert it. The inverted sensor acts contrary to the daylight sensor emitting full redstone strength during night time, weak strength during the day and no redstone strength at high noon.

Any enchantments, besides curses, would be removed. }} ==== Unit repair ==== {{main|Anvil mechanics#Unit repair}} {{/Repairing with Anvils}} A sword can be repaired in an [[anvil]] by adding units of the [[tiers]]' repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% of the sword's maximum durability, rounded down. === Mob loot === {{Main|Drops#Equipped items}} Some [[mobs]] can spawn with a sword and have an 8.5% chance of dropping them upon death caused by player. This chance is increased by 1% per level of [[Looting]], up to a maximum of 11.5% with Looting III. [[Zombie]]s and [[husk]]s can drop iron swords, [[zombified piglin]]s and [[piglin]]s can drop golden swords, and [[wither skeleton]]s can drop stone swords. The dropped sword is usually badly damaged and may be enchanted. Stone swords dropped by wither skeletons are never enchanted. A [[vex]] wields an iron sword that normally has a 0% chance of dropping, because their main hand's <code>HandDropChances</code> is 0. However, this chance increases by 1 percentage point per level of Looting. It is never damaged{{only|java}} and may be enchanted. {{IN|be}}, [[pillager]]s and [[vindicator]]s that spawn from raids have a 4.1% chance (5.12% chance on hard mode) of dropping a damaged iron sword. This sword has a 50% chance of being enchanted. === Trading === [[File:Weaponsmith Diamond Sword Trade.png|thumb|right|The diamond sword trade of a weaponsmith.]] {{IN|bedrock}}, an apprentice-level weaponsmith villagers sells enchanted iron swords for at least 7-21 emeralds, and a master-level weaponsmith sells enchanted diamond swords for at least 13-27 emeralds. {{IN|java}}, a novice-level weaponsmith villager has a {{frac|2|3}} chance of selling an enchanted iron sword for at least 7-22 emeralds. A master-level weaponsmith offers to sell an enchanted diamond sword for at least 11–27 emeralds. The enchantments of the swords offered by villagers are the same as the ones obtained from an [[enchantment table]] at levels 5–19. === Chest loot === {{LootChestItem|iron-sword,level-enchanted-iron-sword,damaged-random-enchanted-iron-sword,golden-sword,random-enchanted-golden-sword,diamond-sword,damaged-diamond-sword,level-enchanted-diamond-sword,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-sword,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-sword-2}} == Usage == === Attacking === Pressing {{control|attack}} while holding a sword inflicts damage on both mobs and other players. Upon damaging a mob or player, the sword's [[Item Durability|durability]] decreases by 1. Attacking a [[boat]] or a [[minecart]] with a sword stone tier or higher instantly destroys it {{only|java}}, without decreasing the sword's durability. Otherwise, it requires 2 hits, with neither decreasing durability. ==== Sweeping ==== {{exclusive|Java|section=1}} If the attack recharge meter is 84.8% or above and the player is on the ground standing or moving slower than the [[sprinting]] speed in a straight line, the sword performs a sweeping attack indicated by a gale [[particle]] that reaches nearby enemies for {{hp|1}} and knocks them back; the amount of knockback is 80% that of the basal knockback and does not benefit from the [[knockback]] enchantment. As result, the player can perform a sweep attack while they are sprinting diagonally but it is impossible to perform a sweep attack at the same time as a critical hit or while riding some [[entity]]. All enemies within an 1 by 0.25 by 1 block area of any part of the attacked mob and whose feet are 3 or less blocks away from player's feet are affected. The [[sweeping edge]] enchantment increases the damage dealt by 50% of the normal hit damage for level I, 67% for level II and 75% for level III. === Damage === {{Main|Damage}} ==== Java Edition ==== Swords have an attack speed of 1.6 and take 0.625 seconds to [[Damage#Attack cooldown|recover]]. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" data-description="Sword attack damage by type" !

Using a sword to destroy any block that doesn't break instantly by hand decreases its durability by 2; this includes bamboo, despite that the sword is the fastest tool for breaking it.<ref>{{bug|MC-195168||Swords consume double durability than they normally would when destroying bamboo saplings, bamboo, or cobwebs}}</ref> If a sword is enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], either using [[Creative]] or [[commands]], cobwebs the sword destroys will drop the cobwebs themselves instead of the usual string. This is due to the sword being classified as the proper tool for cobwebs. The following table shows the time it takes to break blocks on which swords have any effect.

[[File:Parrying.png|thumb|right|The blocking animation using a sword before and after [[Java Edition 14w30a]] (from the [[Adventure Update|Adventure]] to the [[Bountiful Update|Bountiful]] updates).]] Previously, since the [[Adventure Update]], all types of swords could be used to parry to block some forms of damage. If the player is blocking with a sword when attacked, the sword deflects 50% of incoming damage from melee, non-magical projectiles like arrows, and explosions, along with minimizing airborne knockback. The sword is held in front of the player and its durability is not reduced by blocking. The player moves at a slower rate than [[sneaking]] if blocking with a sword. Sword blocks could be engaged and disengaged instantly, with no delay between the input and damage mitigation nor cooldown between lowering a block and raising a new one. After the [[Combat Update]], the sword blocking functionality was replaced by blocking with [[shield]]s and to accommodate the [[dual wield]] system. Shields negate more damage and knockback than sword blocking from "blockable" attacks (they block 100% damage and knockback after [[Java Edition 1.11]]), but, unlike swords, they lose durability, have a 0.25 second startup period before damage can be mitigated and can be temporarily disabled by attacks with an [[axe]]. === Knockback === The knockback dealt by swords used to be higher than while the players are using another melee [[item]]s, like an axe or with the hands. This feature was removed in [[Java Edition 1.9]] and is also no longer used in ''[[Bedrock Edition]]''. === Historical changes per version === {{History|java indev}} {{History||0.31|snap=20091231-2|[[File:Iron Sword JE1 BE1.png|32px]] Added iron swords. |Iron swords cannot be [[craft]]ed yet, but can be added to the [[player]]'s [[inventory]] during world creation.}} {{History||0.31|snap=?|The iron sword is no longer added to the player's inventory during world creation.}} {{History||0.31|snap=20100128|[[File:Wooden Sword JE1 BE1.png|32px]] [[File:Stone Sword JE1 BE1.png|32px]] [[File:Diamond Sword JE1 BE1.png|32px]] Swords made from wood, stone, and diamond have been added. |Swords cannot be crafted yet, but have been added to the [[item]] [[chest]] in the Indev house.|A sword held by the player is now rendered to appear more 3D.}} {{History||0.31|snap=20100129|Wood, stone, iron, and diamond swords can now be [[craft]]ed.}} {{History|||snap=20100130|[[File:Golden Sword JE1.png|32px]] Swords can now be made out of gold.}} {{History|||snap=20100131|Swords now have [[durability]]. |Better swords now last longer. |Swords now cost 1 durability per hit, and 2 points per block broken.}} {{History||20100206|[[File:Golden Sword JE2 BE1.png|32px]] The texture of gold swords has been slightly changed.}} {{History|java alpha}} {{History||v1.2.0|snap=release|[[Zombie pigmen]] now hold golden swords.}} {{History|java beta}} {{History||1.2|Swords, like all [[tool]]s, now have more [[item durability|durability]]. |Prior, diamond swords had 1024 durability, iron swords had 128, stone swords 64 and wood and gold had 32 durability.}} {{History||1.5|The damages of all swords have increased by 1, due to the player's barehand damage increasing from {{hp|1}} to {{hp|2}}. |As a result, wooden and golden swords now dealt {{hp|5}}, stone swords {{hp|7}}, iron swords {{hp|9}}, and diamond swords {{hp|11}}.}} {{History||1.8|snap=Pre-release|Added the ability to block with a sword, giving the [[player]] more options in combat. |Swords deflect 50% of incoming melee damage, non-magical projectiles like arrows and explosion damage, and a bit of knockback. |The sword is held in front of the player and its durability is not reduced by blocking.|The player moves at a slower rate than [[sneaking]] when blocking with a sword. |As barehand damage has been reduced from {{hp|2}} to {{hp|1}}, the damages of all swords have been reduced to their pre Beta 1.5 values.}} {{History|java}} {{History||1.0.0|snap=Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3|Sword [[damage]] has been reduced to make way for [[enchanting]].

Issues

Issues relating to "Daylight Detector" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.

Trivia

• Daylight Sensors are less than a slab tall, which is like redstone repeaters, redstone comparators and trapdoors.
• A daylight sensor connected to a powered dropper or dispenser will cause the dropper/dispenser to fire every time the light level changes.
• While other blocks use a block entity to store additional data, the daylight sensor only uses its block entity to force it to regularly update its output signal strength.
• The inverted form of the daylight sensor cannot be obtained as an item.
